The radar

The Evansville,IN radar (KVWX), 43 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:35 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 10.6 hours before the alert went out and 237 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jan 12, 4:36 PM EST, 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 12, 4:36 PM EST, 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
336 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

LOTS GOING ON WITH TORNADO WARNINGS...FLOODING AND WINTER WEATHER
POTENTIAL...SO WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.

THE MAIN CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CAME OVER THE OFFICE EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON AND PRODUCED NEARLY 2.5 INCH/HOUR RATES FOR AROUND HALF
AN HOUR. BLENDED HPC QPF FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
PREVIOUS OFFICIAL QPF AND THEN USED STRAIGHT HPC AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THIS GIVES 3 TO 4 INCHES OVER MUCH OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...AND 2 TO 3 ELSEWHERE. WITH THE FRONT...A
TIGHTENING BAROCLINIC ZONE...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ABOVE THE
99TH PERCENTILE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FOR JANUARY...AND RECENT OBSERVED
EFFICIENT RAINFALL...WILL LET THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUE AS
IS. MUCH OF WEST KENTUCKY MAY NOT GET MUCH BEFORE MIDNIGHT...BUT
EVEN AN ISOLATED STORM COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS.

WILL LIKELY BE FIGHTING ROTATING STORMS ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF
THE PRIMARY RAIN BAND THROUGH THE EVENING. THE STORM THAT MOVED THROUGH
THE PADUCAH AREA APPEARS TO BE RIGHT ON THE WARM EDGE OF THE THETA-E
GRADIENT...WHERE IT CAN TAP BETTER LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND POSSIBLY
SOME BAROCLINITY. TORNADOES MAY BE THE GREATER CONCERN VERSUS
DAMAGING WINDS. WE MAY BE DEALING WITH THIS UNTIL THE MAIN RAIN
BAND SPREADS THROUGH THE PENNYRILE LATER TONIGHT.

THE 12Z MODELS ALL SHOW A SIGNFICANT SWATH OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED
WITH FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IN THE 850MB-700MB LAYER DEVELOPING
BEHIND THE MAIN RAIN BAND AND LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH WEST
KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY. THEY ALSO
ARE BEGINNING TO REALIZE AS THE ECMWF HAS KNOWN FOR DAYS THAT THE
SURFACE FREEZING LINE WILL MARCH ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI THROUGH THE DAY.

THE FREEZING LINE IS SITTING ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI RIGHT
NOW...SO NOT SURE THAT THE MODELS HAVE A GOOD GRIP ON THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE SHALLOW COLD ADVECTION. GUT FEELING IS THAT
FREEZING RAIN IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS FOR
MUCH OF THE DAY SUNDAY...BUT NOT SURE HOW QUICKLY THE SURFACE WILL
FREEZE OR JUST HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION WILL LEFT. MAY VERY WELL
HAVE AN ADVISORY LEVEL EVENT...BUT CANNOT JUSTIFY THE HEADLINE AT
THIS TIME. WILL THEREFORE CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE SITUATION IN A
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT.

THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO BRING A SWATH OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION
NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF WEST KENTUCKY MONDAY INTO
MONDAY NIGHT. BY THIS TIME WOULD EXPECT ALL FROZEN
PRECIPITATION...MOST LIKELY SNOW BUT POSSIBLY SOME SLEET AS WELL.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF MORE ROUNDS OF SNOW PUSH NORTHEAST
ACROSS WEST KENTUCKY UNTIL THE CLIPPER ARRIVES TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

IN RESPONSE TO A DIGGING MID LEVEL TROF IN THE SWRN CONUS...THERE
MAY BE JUST ENOUGH OF A MOISTURE SURGE UNDER A BROAD RIDGE JUST TO
OUR SE FOR A LITTLE MEASUREABLE RAIN IN THE SRN PENNYRILE REGION AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD /TUE/. OTHER THAN THAT...THE
PAH FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE PCPN FREE AS MODEL CONSENSUS SAYS THAT
WINDS ALOFT WILL TURN FROM SWRLY TO WRLY/WNWRLY BY LATE WEEK AS A
REINFORCING SHOT OF DRY AIR SURGES INTO THE REGION. BY DAY 7 LOW
LEVEL WINDS SHOULD BE BACK TO THE SOUTH AS HIGH SFC PRESSURE MOVES
OFF TO THE EAST. A GENERAL WARMING TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE
TEMPORARILY SLOWED BY THE MID WEEK COLD FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED AT 1207 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

THERE SHOULD BE A TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENT IN CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON IN THE ERN THIRD OF THE REGION...DUE TO MOST OF THE
INFLUENCE OF THE DEVELOPING SFC TROF BEING WEST OF THERE.
OTHERWISE...LIFR AND WORSE CIGS IN THE WRN TWO THIRDS MAY IMPROVE
ONLY SOME WITH INCREASING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY LATER TODAY. LIGHTNING
ACTIVITY ACROSS THE PAH FORECAST AREA MAY PEAK IN THE LATE AFTERNOON
WITH THE SFC TROF...THEN AGAIN IN THE EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
BEGINS ITS PUSH EWD THROUGH THE REGION. SE/SSE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE IN THE EVENING...THEN SHIFT TO THE NW NEAR OR AFTER
MIDNIGHT. EXPECT VSBYS TO BE QUITE VARIABLE UNTIL FROPA.

THIS TIME...SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ARE NOT LIKELY...BUT THEY CANNOT
BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT. THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT WINTER
IMPACTS MAY NOT BECOME OBVIOUS UNTIL A BIT LATER IN TIME. AT THIS
TIME...IT APPEARS THE HIGHEST CHANCE FOR ICE OR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
WILL LIE ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF THE OHIO RIVER...ESPECIALLY ALONG
AND EAST OF THE WABASH RIVER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION CANNOT BE RULED THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
TONIGHT...GENERALLY OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...THE SOUTHERN TIP OF
ILLINOIS AND THE PURCHASE AREA OF WESTERN KENTUCKY. IN
ADDITION...SPOTTERS THROUGHOUT THE AREA SHOULD REPORT ANY HEAVY
RAINFALL OR FLOODING PROBLEMS THEY ENCOUNTER THIS AFTERNOON
